Flip Out Hammerhead: Emotional Regulation Set

The cards feel sturdy and the "Tools to Cool" prompts actually got my son talking about his anger instead of just throwing things. We've used it three times already this week during meltdowns, and it's helping him name the feeling before flipping out.

My daughter loves naming the emotions on the cards when she's calm, and I've already seen her grab the "flip out" cue during a tense moment. It's simple and actually works. The little toolkit makes it easy to talk about feelings without a lecture, and the hammerhead character gives her a fun way to practice cooling down.

My five-year-old had a full meltdown last night, and we grabbed the flip cards from this set to identify what she was feeling. The prompt about "body clues" really helped her connect her tight fists to the anger she was naming. It's already become a go-to tool in our house for cooling down.

The cards are sturdy and the emotions are clearly illustrated, making it easy for my child to point out how he's feeling. It's helped with a few meltdowns, though I wish the set included a few more scenario examples for older kids.
